Hey, i'm running Windows Mobile 6 on my Apache (Thanks Helmi!) and I was hoping someone knew how to get that little headphone button on the mic to skip tracks on Media Player or Audio Manager (if possible) in WM6. Its a pain sometimes to reach into my pocket or hold the phone to switch tracks. I know that you can answer and hang up phone calls using the button but not switch tracks. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
i would also really like this feature, or if anything, someone explain to me the features that are accessible through the mic button. one thing i found on my own is that if you click the button 6 times quickly, you begin calling your most recent call in the call history. that has to be one of the most obscure things that i've ever come across, and despite my searches, i have not found one place which explains the abilities of that little mic button. does anyone know where there is a place such as that?
I know that pressing the button once when someone calls answers the phone and push the button and holding it will end the call.
a 5-second clickandhold ends the call, to be more exact
Once I saw mini usb headphones with inline socket or whatever to control player somwhere to buy.

Hi Guys,
Just got my S110, which I love. Still trying to learn how different the phone functions are, compared to my C500, one thing I have noticed, and which I feel is a real pain is to do with the suppled headset and its intergration with mobile 2003.
It seems to be fine at answering calls - a quick tap, and that is it, but when it comes to ending a call, i have to hold the button for 3 seconds, and there is also no beep to notify that the call has ended. This is a bit annoying if you end the call with the handset in your pocket. There is nothing to let you know it has ended, apart from looking at the handset.
Does anyone know of a hack to shorten the length the button needs to be pressed to end a call.
Also is there any chance of voice tagging, like a normal phone. I have tried Voice commander, which I think is hit and miss.
Many Thanks

Hi,
How exactly is this thing supposed to work? im talking about the button on the stereo headset that comes in the box.
There seems to be no logic to me answering a call, i have to press it repeatedly to answer, pressing once or twice or even holding it in doesnt seem to answer. So far the magic number is 4 quick presses and bing it answers.
It does nothing at all if i press the button to make a call, I expected it to wait for a voice command if I do this?
Weirdly once IN a call if i press it, it will put the call on hold and another press takes it out of hold, probably as designed and suggesting the button isnt broken.
This is my second JJ too. :?
I just dont get it :roll: Roll on the Samsung SBH-100 Bluetooth headset!

I remember in my old Nokia (or maybe Motorola or Ericsson) days, I could have my handset answer automatically within 1 ring if it was plugged in to the hands-free kit. I'd like something similar with the Universal so that when it's in landscape mode as a bedwarfed* laptop, it answers on speakerphone on any keypress, otherwise it behaves normally. I guess I'd better look into the telephony APIs...
Hi,
does anyone know how is it possible to disable the LAST NUMBER REDIAL function? If my BT headset is in my pocket it happens many times, that the "-" button is pressed and it activates the LAST NUMBER REDIAL. It is very annoying....you can imagine. Is there any REGISTRY hack or somehing like that to solve this problem?
THX
That has to be one of the most annoying things!
Especially when you are having a moan about someone after the original call!!
Vijay??
Nobody has the same problem?
me too - it happens for me because I changed the LaunchAPEnable registry setting from 1 to 0 to send the sound to my headset over BT
WOlfgang
Can you clarify this problem? Which button is it that's being pressed? Hardware key or on the headset?
Explain clearly and I'll look into it and if I can help...

Vijay, you're too kind for your own good.. heh heh. (but we all appreciate it )
I had this problem with my BT headset and speaking for myself, it's when you hold down the button on the headset, you'll initiate last number redial.
If you just press the button you'll launch Voice Dialler..
I used to keep my BT headset in my pocket and I had both these issues.. eventually I resolved both of these problems by buying a £3 neck strap off ebay and wearing the headset round my neck.. :wink:

BT on for nearly 2 weeks!!
gaspx: there is a technique I'm working on which might help us out here.
It's messy and very very early stages right now, and sent me over the edge last weekend. But if the technique works, it'll open some very interesting doors. Please remind me in a few days. I'm afraid that I can't think of a quick solution, but in my usual style, an unnecessarily complicated solution might surface...

i have had the same problems aswell...
although i have been looking into the phone tools that only turn the bluetooth on when you have a phone call,
i am wondering if that will allouw bluetooth to turn on when transfering audio
VJVolubilis will automatically enable bluetooth and transfer audio (or attempt to).
V
Anyone figure out a way to do this yet? It sucks because I keep accidentally calling people from my headset.
I've looked around for a solution to this problem for a while now. Anyone come up with something? Vijay?
Any development on this issue yet? I accidently called twice today. Very annoying because I kept my BT headset in pant's pocket. Please help, Vjay and others professors.
How about powering down the headset? Maybe I don't get it but....
I just triple-checked, my Motorola H500, H820 & H700 will reconnect when I power them back up & press the button once as long as the phone's BT is on, even mid-call. Do these newfangled machines not offer that? What I do is answer the call on the unit w/ one ear and if I think it'll be more than a minute, I put the headset on the other ear to power it up, press to connect, and I don't miss a word (not on the H820, I'll take a pause to switch to that one when I pull it out of my gadget-laden diaper bag. Every mom needs a BT headset!). I think it'll hook up even during ringing, but calling from my skype seemed a little overkill for this response.
(I'm using a modified/very-simply-reduced version of the Jaguar ROM on a wizard at the moment, and many of Vijay's venerably ingenious tools.)
Hi,
Is there anything that can be done to improve the mic volume when on speaker phone - I have had complaints when more than a foot or so away that people can't hear me.
I have the phone open on my desk most of the time and am just trying to work out the best way to deal with calls as they come in. At the moment unplugging the USB and then flipping the screen and then trying to answer the call seems a bit ham fisted and I keep on loosing calls
I personally never use my MDA Pro as a conventional phone. I find it too bulky. My own method is to always use a bluetooth headset.
If I was in your situation, I would have the Universal open on my desk, with the bluetooth headset lying beside it. When the phone rings, simply put on the bluetooth headset,press the call receive button on it, and away you go.
You don't really need to flip the screen, just close it and then use the green button to answer the call. Will work fine with the USB connected if you don't mind people looking at you strangely.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I don't have a headset so haven't gone down that route yet. Will they work with Skype and VOIP software etc on the phone?
As for closing and then picking up, I'm wondering if the phone has a problem because I have tried this a couple of times and have lost the calls although I am generally unplugging the USB, closing the phone and then answering - have only had the phone a couple of days so still getting the hang of it.
Hmmm....can it be used when in pda mode to answer and make calls... I have tried this, but I think either my machine's mic & speakers dont work on the inside (screen side) of the clamshell, the other person on the line can't hear, and I hear their voice (distantly), which means it is coming out of the back of the screen, not the front. Its either that or the device just isnt designed to work in this orientation.
Has anyone else tried recieving or making calls with the screen facing out in portrait mode?
Re the Bluetooth headset answering method, great idea, I do this, but I have found that sometimes my o2 blue headset loses the pairing when I press the answer call button, so I lose the call anyway.
Can anyone tell us how it should work, will the recent rom upgrade fix this, is there even a mic and speaker on the inside lid?

The Mic is right next to the power button, so it is as close to your mouth when in PDA mode or closed. Also There are two speakers on the hinged lid, in PDA mode it's the slightly recessed oval shape 10mm from the top dead centre.
I've never discovered a software method of disabling this speaker. Possibly a hardware fault? Might be worth discussing with your handset provider
Hey all, this is a quick question about the headphones that come with our awesome phones. I've barely started to use them since my main ones broke, and I can't seem to figure out what the button presses do!? Sometimes when i press the bottom of it, the volume goes from low to HIGH and my ears go deaf for a quick second :/
Then when i press the top one...it pauses, then with the middle area of the button, sometimes it skips the song or pauses it.
I am so confused, can any kind soul shed some light please? Thanks!

I thought I was cheated out of headphones after reading he had more than one, haha.
Yeah same here only one button
Sent from my SPH-D700
Same here, but there's 3...uh how can i put it..."areas"?? to the buttons. that's why (i assume) theres the 2 little dots on it. If it was one button, then what would even be the point of just having it!? then it would be able to do only one function.

Well that's kinda the point with headphones that come with phones they come with one button , and a mic.
The button usually has the funtcion of: redial, answer incoming call, end call, and sometimes voice commands.

It all depends on drivers. My bluetooth headset has one button too, but it can handle short and long press, single or double click etc.
Looks like Sammy headphones button has two options
-short press -> brings up call log
-long press -> brings up voice dialer.
maybe end call if you are in call mode.
so then what about the whole volume thing? i understand the whole concept of that one button for calling functionality, but isn't it werid that when i listen to music on my phone the volume totally goes out of whack?

What app do you use to listen music?
For me it always the same. Tried in WinAmp and Standard player.
PS. when in call log short press will auto-dial the first number.
Google music beta, stock, Winamp, and video player. it does it for all, and my itouch too. But meh, whatever not a big deal, i wish i could have changed to volume with it like the headphones that comes with iDevices. Thanks again for all that caller info stuff.
